<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 322711, member: 10103&quot;]GD; I&#039;ve always bought coins from the mint not for profit but for pleasure. I&#039;ve never preassured myself with the fear of buying hoping that the item which I bought would go up in pice. This takes all of the fun out of collecting. I&#039;ve never bought a certified coin and don&#039;t intend to....I buy because I like the look of the coin, design, quality of strike, etc. etc. I don&#039;t always agree with the philosophy and hair splitting of the 3rd party grading services but I know there are folks out there who must have the best quality and the only way they can have it (in there way of thinking) is to go 3rd party. If i&#039;m happy with the way the coin looks it&#039;s good enough for me and the profit I take is the happiness and relaxed pleasure received every time I examine a paticularly loved piece in my collection.</p><p>Hope I haven&#039;t offended anyone with my opinion on 3rd party grading...I know a lot of folks depend on it to sell and buy unseen products.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ken[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
